WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Al Pacino once again excels in a far more nuanced performance than most are probably used to him delivering, and reminds us all that he’s one of the industry’s top actors instead of the over-acting thespian some associate him with being.
